Postoperative Oropharyngeal Muscle Training Compliance in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Growth Mixture Model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To explore developmental trajectories of oropharyngeal muscle training adherence and their influencing factors in postoperative adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Patients and Methods: This study was a prospective longitudinal observational study. Using convenience sampling, adult OSA patients who were hospitalized and underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from October 2023 to January 2025 were selected as the study subjects. A total of 215 patients were enrolled, with 11 lost to follow-up during the postoperative periods of 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks, resulting in a final analysis sample size of 204 cases. Using the General Information Questionnaire, Oropharyngeal Muscle Training Adherence Questionnaire, Self-Management Questionnaire for Adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale, patients' oropharyngeal muscle training adherence levels were assessed at 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after adult OSA surgery. A latent variable growth mixture model was applied to identify adherence development trajectories, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine the influencing factors of different trajectory categories. Results: Three oropharyngeal muscle training adherence development trajectories were identified in adult OSA patients post-surgery: the Low-start Sustained Increase Group, the Moderate Gradual Decline Group, and the Moderate Rapid Decline Group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified self-management scores and GSES as significant independent predictors of trajectory group membership, with ESS also showing predictive value for certain trajectory comparisons (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is significant heterogeneity in postoperative oropharyngeal muscle training (OMT) adherence trajectories among adult OSA patients. Identifying these distinct patterns enables the stratification of patients for tailored interventions. Healthcare providers should prioritize individuals showing declining adherence for early, targeted support.
